You'd have to be completely unfirewalled to see damage

The remote control opens on ports 7111 and 7222, and it doesn't do anything local except open a listener on one or the other of those ports (there are (so far) two variants, the only reported difference being that port number). If you (as I do) set your machines up with French Foreign Legion firewalling rules ("you shall do nothing except") then this won't be a problem for you. I'm also seeing a lot of ssh login attempts recently, on those few machines I have which still run sshd on the default port. |

It's a pretty punky threat. Poor little feeble thing. |

Perhaps we can ask the authors to publish the source, so we can have a real threat for a change? (-: |

heh, yes, after all the FOSS ideal "collaborate, improve, share" :) |

Hey, I quoted you two in an article - actually you made the article since the majority of text is yours. I thought it worked pretty well. |
